Cyber Crop Quiz - part 3 & 4

There are 40 quiz questions, yep, 40!!! But to make things easier, I
will give you 10 questions each Wednesday during August (1st, 8th,
16th, 22nd).

You need to e-mail your answers to each section directly to me helen @ redearthscrapping.com.au

ALL answers must reach me by the 31st August

Each question is worth 1 point - the person with the highest score overall is the winner of this challenge

Google and the like is NOT allowed and I ask for your honesty in
this regard. It's ok if you have no clue about the answers, just give it
your best guess, and if you're really, really stuck, I might provide
some clues ...

HAVE FUN!!! and hopefully learn a little bit about Australian agriculture along the way

I will post the questions each week over in the original forum post and here on the blog. If
you have any comments/questions please use the forum comments as per
usual, or you can e-mail me.
